An underwhelming National Sandwich Day

, , , , 0

As planned, I headed to Subway on Sparks Street for National Sandwich Day. I expected a busy restaurant, but if there was a lot of customers, it didn’t feel like a special day. Indeed, there was no real signage or advertising for National Sandwich Day at this Sparks Street outlet. Where is the pride? Now, many had seen the TV ad, or read about it online. But many in lines weren’t aware. Subway is the world’s largest submarine sandwich franchise, with more than 42,000 restaurants in over 100 countries and more than 3,000 restaurants in Canada. Yet, they can’t promote their own Holiday! That said, the Sandwich Artist at the order counter was pointing out the promotion to some puzzled customers. Buy a sandwich, get another one free! (Or, buy a footlong for the price of a 6 inch. Not as good of a deal.) I took their currently featured sandwich,…

So it’s National Sandwich Day, a Holiday created by Subway and celebrated by its customers. Here is the deal: Today, buy a sub and a drink and get the second sub of equal or lesser value for free at Subway restaurants in Canada and the United States. Here is Subway’s sandwich selection so you can think about your decision. Which 2 of the 19 will you get? More importantly, which will I get?

Subway appreciates you

, , , 0

Subway cares, and they want you to know they do. Which is why you must have seen their TV ad during the month of January, letting you know that January was Subway’s Customer Appreciation Month. Meaning? For the month of January, the biggest restaurant chain in the world (38 825 restaurants in 99 Countries, including 2890 in Canada) is offering their 6-inch Egg Salad or their Ham Subs at $3 each to its Canadian customers. Sweet, huh? Angela Hayes of FoodBeat believes it’s “an amazing deal for customers looking to save a little cash after the holiday rush.“ Really? The Waffle decided to investigate. First, one needs to know that Subway’s Customer Appreciation Month in the US was in December, and that in December you could get a sub for 2 US dollars. This corner hasn’t checked the current value of our dollars against the American currency, but it seems…

KFC’s Festivus for the rest of us!

, , , , 0

As previously discussed, KFC is offering a sweet deal for Christmas. Merry, Merry! Because nothing says “Happy Holidays” like Free Fried Chicken. So when you purchase a Festive Meal For one… You get a free sandwich voucher!!! If you want more free chicken, you can instead purchase any Family Feast (Your choice of 8, 12, 15, or 20-piece Original Recipe Chicken, with fries, gravy, two more sides, and a 2L Pepsi. ) and you’ll get a $10 Gift Voucher to use on your next family feast! I had to take advantage of Colonel Santa’s offer, so I made my way to the St-Joseph location in Hull. But since I was alone, and since I didn’t need a Family Feast on my own, I had to go for the Festive Meal for One. Merry, Merry! There were a few other customers in the restaurant, but I didn’t need to wait before…

All-you-can-shrimp

, , , , , , 2

Since the beginning of the month, Anthony had been harassing me. Some would argue he started harassing me long before then, but that’s beside the point. The point is that Red Lobster is back with its Endless Shrimp promotion, and Anthony wanted to go. And he didn’t want to go alone. And so he was harassing me. And so I reluctantly agreed, and made we arrangements with our respective partners and eventually settled on a date. For a limited time, you can eat all the shrimp you can handle. Apparently, it is the most popular promotion at Red Lobster. In fact, Red Lobster Blog tells us that “as a server this promotion is hell the first week, and hell on the weekends during peak business periods.” Noted. Also, from his point of view, ie as an employee, Endless Shrimp “is the single worst promotion ever created by Red Lobster.” And…
